Toastmaster International
What is Toastmasters?

Most Toastmasters meetings are comprised of approximately 20 people who meet weekly for an hour or two. Participants practice and learn skills by filling a meeting role, ranging from giving a prepared speech or an impromptu one to serving as timer, evaluator or grammarian.
There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and what could be improved.
** The next Malacca Toastmasters meeting is on 19 February 2009 (Thursday)-7.30pm , and it is good to go there to have a look on how those speakers are trained. Please leave your comment if you would like to go and experince it, and it is free of charge for the first three meetings.

Ya...If possible,we can form the toastmasters club at the college, but the problem is i cannot make it compulsary to all since certain amount of fee need to be paid to the Melaka Toastmasters Club. The students have their own interest whether he or she would like to develope this soft-skill(public speaking).
